My Shelf-ish Week #64

Friday, August 14, 2026

 What I've Been Writing:

Still working on Book 2 of the True Heir Duology: Night Giver. My goal to finish it by the end of August is...not going as well as I'd hoped it would. But I'm getting a little writing in. It's at 127,000 words written.


What I've Been Reading:

I've gotten two books read in the past two weeks. My favorite of the two is Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe. And when she says it's an enemy-to-lovers dystopian romance, it is definitely an enemy-to-lovers dystopian romance.  I was hooked all the way to the end.  And then I finished Verity Guild as well. Both ended on cliffhangers, leaving me needing to know what happens next.


What I've Been Stacking on my Shelves: 

I've gotten all kinds of goodies since we last talked. I started out the month with 

  • One Shattered Crown
  • Daggermouth, and 
  • Adversary to the Villain

Then, a few days later, my Allurial Book Box came in, containing:  

  • The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy,
  • The Night Prince,
  • A Dance with Death,
  • A Bargain So Bloody,
  • The Dark in Her Veins, and
  • Steelborn.

I tried out the AcryliPics 3D Subscription and ended up with

  • These Immortal Truths.

And then my shipment from Fairyloot came in with some Boys of Tommen:

  • Binding 13,
  • Keeping 13,
  • Saving 6, and
  • Redeeming 6.

And that's what's been up with me these past few weeks in the bookish world.
